Roundhouse

This is the L&N roundhouse in Pensacola in 1926. The structure appears to be made of wood siding, at least from about the roofline up. Possibly concrete or masonry below that. It will be a challenge to model, as most roundhouse kits I've come across are brick buildings. Note the large sanding facility in the foreground.

This photo was taken in Pensacola in 1951. There is clearly a turntable and apparently a roundhouse behind the engine, but I'm not positive if it's the same structure as above. The roofline is different (peak is more centered in the top photo). Anway, this shot shows more details of the building construction showing a concrete/masonry foundation. It's possible that the roundhouse was rebuilt sometime between the two photos. Since this is close to the era I'm planning to model, I may try to do something similar to this structure.
